I had this piece in the pipeline at Teen Vogue when the news dropped; I'm publishing it to my Substack because I think it's important and I don't want an interview with Adam Hochschild to go to waste.

The federal government wants to crack down on left organizing. A century ago, it largely succeeded.

the right can't get their story together on why they hate Mamdani. Is he a terrifying force of Muslim conservatism, or some weak man whipped by his "aloof" wife?

anyway, if your partner isn't supporting your campaign, that's what's suspicious imo

"umm, uhhh, his aloof wife Rama Duwaji secretly ran the campaign"

garbage from the NY Post showing pictures of Rama Duwaji and her husband Zohran Mamdani, caption "How Zohran Mamdani’s aloof wife, Rama Duwaji, quietly steered his campaign from behind the scenes"

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

the thing is, folks i know who only read legacy news coverage of him think he’s the devil, but the moment they watch any interview longer than 30 highly-edited seconds of him just talking openly about his stances, they get confused because he’s just a normal kind guy from the block

It's like all the rich losers who threatened to leave Massachusetts over our millionaires tax. Maybe a few weirdos actually did leave, and good riddance, but we're bringing in more revenue than expected and companies as big as Hasbro and Lego are moving *to* Massachusetts

MAGA's attempt to use the "insurrection clause" against Mamdani is absurd, but it's also a very deliberate statement of right-wing impunity, given that Trump actually did spark an insurrection but the Supreme Court ruled that he was not constitutionally ineligible to hold public office.
